For the girls

Well, I know I've been talking about it a lot .... but I've had a real run on birthday parties for my son Matthew. Seems like every child in his class seems to be having birthday parties every weekend. And while most of them have been for 6 year old boys, sometimes there is a girl's party too!

Last weekend, Matthew was invited to a little girl's party. I needed to make a card that was quick, suitable for a 6 year old and girly! I didn't have much time so inspired by Pinterest, I grabbed a few bits and pieces and got to work!

I've used Melon Mambo as the card base and punched a scallop circle out of the top corner. I had some pretty little butterflies in my stash of cut-outs and added them to the card. Little bits of bling are the winner here!

I've stamped Happy Birthday with the Memorable Moments stamp set. Such a handy set, especially when you want to add numbers to the card (which I didn't here!!!).

Now I've added some non-Stampin' Up! product to this card with two strips of Washi tape. My boys had given me Washi Tape a while ago that I hadn't used ... and now that Stampin' Up! have a range of their own Washi Tape (from the Epic This & That range), I thought I would try what I had in my stash while waiting for order from SU!!
